wrfrst Files Not Generated in WRF Simulation

[gaddamnagaraju_112]

Hi there,

Greetings of the day!

I am currently running a WRF simulation for the period from 24th August 2023 to 26th August 2023. To account for a 12-hour spin-up, I configured the simulation to run from 12:00 UTC on 23rd August 2023 to 26th August 2023.

The model is running successfully, and I can see the wrfout files being generated at hourly intervals. However, the wrfrst (restart) files are not being generated, even though I have configured the namelist.input accordingly.

I have attached my namelist.input file for your reference. I would be grateful if you could kindly review it and let me know if there are any corrections or settings I should modify to enable the generation of wrfrst files during the simulation.

I look forward to your valuable guidance.


Sincerely,
Nagaraju Gaddam

Following up on my previous email regarding the wrfrst file generation issue, I have adjusted the restart_interval parameter in my namelist.input file from 3600 seconds to 60 seconds. After making this change, the model generated only one restart file:

wrfrst_d01_2023-08-23_13:00:18

However, shortly afterward, the model failed to continue running.

Below is the relevant configuration snippet from my namelist.input:
restart = .false.,
restart_interval = 60,
override_restart_timers = .true.,


I would greatly appreciate your guidance on why only one restart file is created and the possible reasons for the model failure.


Thank you very much for your support. I look forward to your response.


Sincerely,
Nagaraju Gaddam

Hi,
Apologies for the delay in response and thank you for your patience. It's likely that you need additional processors to run this simulation. Try doubling the number and see if that makes any difference. If not, please package all of your rsl* files into a single *.tar or zipped file and attach that. Thanks!
